Sure. The icing on the cake I had for pudding.

Yeah, I got maple-cured, smoked salmon. Yum yum. Salmon of Knowledge.

You're good.

Technically, I didn't get it for CHristmas, I just picked it up that day. Shot it the same day, I'm sending it back to the MFG of it. Has a nasty case of trigger slap and some FTF issues. Looks really pretty though.

I scored some tickets to go see Happy feet, dress shirts, books, a new desk for my dorm room, food, some kalashnikov magazines.

I can't stand those grips on the handguards. Some people swear by them, but they feel awkward as hell to me.

I've got the very standard Romanian WASR-10 type AK.

An iPod and some cool computer games.

Nice. I like the grip on mine, although I'll probably finish another standard handguard just to try it out. This is the communist response to vertical foregrips on M4s and m16s. Tactical, commie style.

I tried out some of those vertical handgrips on AKs when I was in Iraq, but I just never liked them. At least with the M16/4 you can adjust the position.

they made those grips long before we made ours. I used one in BiH years ago and hated it for Wallie's reason. I never got the handgrip thing. Guess I am just old school. MAybe it would help going around corners but...

I got an mp3 player, two books, a music composition notebook, candy, and some clothes.

:)

^and a lump of coal in her stocking :D

i'm hoping to get one of these still as a late xmas thing

I got a battery charger and batteries for my new digital camera and a cd. Oh, and a condominium with the most wonder view of Pike's Peak and Cheyenne Mountain on one side and an incredible view of downtown Colorado Springs from the other and no mortgage! Yep, it's mine all mine.

And best of all Roger Waters tickets and plane tickets!

I got two nice sweaters and a great book, some cash, and my sister got me an Iron Maiden 2007 calendar (Woohoo!) - but the nicest thing she made for the whole family was a VCD with old family movies. That surely was a blast from the past and fit the Christmas spirit perfectly. That's the sweetest thing!

And best of all Roger Waters tickets and plane tickets!

Oh, and my sister bought her dog a bloody cape! There is no hope for that pooch.

Far too much chocolate. Seriously - a yard of Toblerone, a couple of pounds of Dairy Milk (which isn't even that nice), a box of Terry's All Gold (again, not great), and a shitload of chocolate coins. It'll keep me going 'til Easter.

And some other stuff. Sunn O)))'s Black One, Lost Series 2 (DVD), a juicer, and, the coolest present I got this year, a framed copy of this photo (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/jambadger/non%20gig%20stuff/65charl.jpg).

I got a S.A.D. lamp! It is the shit, I love it. Now I want one with a dawn and dusk simulator. w00p w00p

Did I get anything for Christmas? Envy at almost all of NSG! :p

A couple of gift card things (used one to buy the Godfather DVD Box Set), the book Foul! by Andrew Jennings (top stuff), and a bunch of booklets and audio CDs to help me learn Spanish. Ole!

Well, I also got high school results, but that was a few days before Christmas.

I got money and good food mostly. Also I got a really thick book full of useless trivia, quotes and other such stuff (like one and a half pages of immutable laws of the universe) , reading such books is something that I really enjoy doing. All in all this was a good Christmas.

$70 cash
$25 Regal cinemas gift card
$25 Target gift card
$25 iTunes card
$25 Best Buy gift card
RCA Lyra M2030
2GB SD card

also got hair clippers so i don't have to pay to get my hair cut from now on. and a set of fancy bowls with chopsticks for eating fancy food out of. and a camera for taking pictures. and some books for reading. and some pens for writing. and some replacement speakers for the ones my sister's friends broke at her 18th. pretty good haul this year. didn't get a wireless card though but they're like 20p off ebay.

oh, and some subs from my gran to live off til i start back at work in january.
